Take your drumming performance and technical development to the absolute limits of the mid-tier class with the Roland TD-17KVX2 Electronic V-Drums Kit. Standing as the definitive flagship configuration of the second-generation TD-17 lineup, this premium kit takes everything that made its predecessor a global benchmark and injects key hardware and module updates. Outfitted with an expanded, sound-enhanced processor module and newly developed thin-profile cymbals, the TD-17KVX2 provides an uncompromised training and recording station tailored specifically for working session players, growing students, and home recording environments across the UAE.
Upgraded TD-17 Version 2 Module with Expanded Sonic Palette
The operational core of the Roland TD-17KVX2 is its fully modernized drum sound module. Driven by Roland’s acclaimed Prismatic Sound Modeling technology, this engine recreates the organic physical characteristics, mechanical interactions, and natural acoustic resonances of physical drum shells. The updated Generation 2 software expands your creative horizon right out of the box, offering 20 brand-new preset kits—bringing the total to 70 premium configurations—alongside heavily overhauled multi-effects processors and premium sample-reverb engines that replicate lifelike studio spaces.
For players tracking specific signature tones, the module supports intensive on-the-fly customization. Musicians can adjust individual shell tuning pitches, alter internal foam dampening, change virtual overhead mic positions, and even import custom WAV tracking files via an onboard SD card slot to trigger layered sample stacks. Complete with wireless Bluetooth audio and MIDI streaming, the TD-17 module allows you to play directly along with educational apps, metronomes, or stereo video backing tracks without unorganized floor cabling.
Advanced Thin-Profile V-Cymbals and Floating Acoustic Mechanics
The standout hardware evolution found on the TD-17KVX2 is its transition to Roland's next-generation thin-profile cymbals. The package features updated CY-12C-T crash cymbals and a CY-14R-T ride cymbal, which are approximately 40% thinner than previous iterations. This decreased cross-section gives the cymbals a highly realistic physical swing, a much softer and more elastic stick impact, and excellent multi-zone edge, bow, and bell tracking that supports continuous organic hand-choking.
This advanced cymbal configuration works in perfect synergy with the floating VH-10 V-Hi-Hat system, a single-pad assembly designed to mount directly onto a standard acoustic hi-hat stand to capture natural foot pumps and loose left-foot splashes. To ensure comfortable stick panning and wrist safety, the kit layout features a large 12-inch PDX-12 snare pad with a tunable dual-ply mesh head and a raised rim profile, accompanied by three PDX-8 mesh toms and the rock-solid KD-10 kick tower designed for flawless double-bass pedal tracking.
